Posters are viewable in Lincolnton at C&B Drug, Wengrows, and the Library.
Please visit our new YouTube Red Devils channel to watch interesting highlights and whole games. Our featured presentation now is "THE Game", the 2005 State Championship with Washington-Wilkes in Lincolnton with over 6,000 attending.
